Al Jazeera Seeks Justice for Gaza Cameraman's Killing in War Crimes Court
Al Jazeera is preparing to submit a legal file to the International Criminal Court (ICC) regarding the killing of one of its cameramen in Gaza. The cameraman, Samer Abu Daqqa, was reportedly killed by an Israeli drone strike while reporting on the bombing of a school used as a shelter for displaced people. Al Jazeera alleges that Israeli drones fired missiles at the school, resulting in Abu Daqqa's death. The network plans to include other instances of attacks on its crews and incitement against them in the legal file. The Israeli army denies deliberately targeting journalists and states that remaining in an active combat zone carries inherent risks. The ICC already has an ongoing investigation into alleged crimes committed on Palestinian territory.
